Thank you to Linda Leyba, Deb Green, CNO, both of Alta Vista Regional Hospital, Highlands University and the Las Vegas Community for making me feel welcome at the Healthy Woman Anniversary Celebration on Feb. 21. As a traveling speaker across the U.S., I have the privilege of visiting many cities, and the friendliness of Las Vegas was very much appreciated!
Your resources in Alta Vista Regional Hospital and Highlands are impressive, as is your historical setting.

Las Vegas is rich in history. Multiple histories, as a matter of fact. This is big country, with a great and diverse heritage that is worthy of protecting and preserving.

The Las Vegas Museum plays a critical role in doing just that. It helps us keep and appreciate our heritage. And that’s why the latest success of the Friends of the City of Las Vegas Museum and Rough Rider Memorial Collection is so important.

Speaking of “tenants,” (a misspelling of “tenets” in Tom McDonald’s Editor’s Note, Feb. 18), I want to give a big and personal shout-out to my tenants: the students of Highlands University and Luna Community College, who bring all sorts of resources to our community, from gracing us with their personal intelligence and energy, to paying the high city utility deposits, and bringing additional revenues to our humble little town.
